5 The time taken for a particular train journey is normally distributed. In the past, the time had mean 2.4 hours and standard deviation 0.3 hours. A new timetable is introduced and on 30 randomly chosen occasions the time for this journey is measured. The mean time for these 30 occasions is found to be 2.3 hours.
- Stating any assumption(s), test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether the mean time for this journey has changed.
- A similar test at the \(5 \%\) significance level was carried out using the times from another randomly chosen 30 occasions.
(a) State the probability of a Type I error.
(b) State what is meant by a Type II error in this context.
